Prima Amigo Glaze

Prima Amigo is a paintwork cleanser…It is a polymer-based glaze…It is a super-fine polish which levels up to 3000 grit imperfections. Combine all three properties and you can see why we think it doesn’t fall into any currently defined categories of car care products.

Mild cleaners in Amigo break up oxidation and remove dead paint. Embedded grime is gently lifted from the surface. Mineral deposits from water spots disappear. It is the perfect prep-step for well-cared-for paint that just needs a cleaning before wax.

As a polymer-based glaze, it fills slight imperfections, adds stunning gloss while leaving the finish slick to the touch. What’s unique about Amigo as a glaze is that it is polymer-based. Although it doesn’t provide protection the way Prima Epic will, it does allow you to go directly to your wax step without any bonding or durability issues. Try that with a “normal” glaze and your protection will simply rinse off. Prima Amigo allows you to fill imperfections, add gloss then seal it in with your synthetic wax. No other product on the market gives you what Prima Amigo gives you.

If you have ever fought with black paint as you tried to remove the very last bit of hazing left by your polish steps, you will truly appreciate Prima Amigo. Used with your polisher, it will remove the lightest of surface imperfections. Black becomes a crystal lagoon of depth and clarity. Red becomes a bright liquidy glow of its former self. Light colors pop with brilliance. Prima Amigo is your last step to perfection.

Thoughts:
Its not always possible to do a proper paint correction on a car, being a professional car detailer you find that not every customer wants to pay the extra money to remove swirls and imperfections for good, same can be said on your own car, its not always possible to do a paint correction everytime you see swirls appear, a glaze is good at hiding these imperfections till its worth doing a full paint correction, if you bring out the polisher everytime you see swirls appear you will have no paint left before you know it. 

They say it takes 5 layers to fill the swirls so you cannot see them, after 1 layer the marring that swept down the side of the car was gone, i then applied 1 more layer on the car and it resulted in the swirls disappearing. I first applied the product vertically, then wiped off. Then i applied it horizontal to ensure i was filling the swirls.

I was pretty impressed with the results considering i had only applied two layers, and the reflection and wetness of the paint when you stepped back and admired it was amazing, i have tried so many sealants and waxes on this car and nothing even comes close to looking this good.

Prima Amigo is the slickest and easiest product to wipe off, so i suggest trying some if its the kind of product your after, you will be extremely suprised.

You can layer a sealant or wax over the top of this product unlike most Glaze’s that are purely just for looks and you cannot layer a wax over the top as they are not polymer based and they simply wash off. Once you seal the Prima Amigo in it will last aslong as the sealant or wax.

Prima Amigo and the Prima range can be purchased from ZAS - Premium Car Care Products.
